Chapter 7 Review Questions

Why should you configure an AP according to the design specs?

• To ensure proper operation in the overall design

• To please the designer

• Because you don’t know what the settings mean

• You shouldn’t; you should dynamically configure each AP as you think best

Why is it considered beneficial to pre-stage autonomous APs instead of configuring them on the live network?

• Performance is improved in the production AP

• Security is enhanced

• You cannot configure an autonomous AP on a live network

• None of these

What is the best way to quickly determine maximum output power settings available for an AP?

• Google search

• CLI configuration interface

• GUI configuration interface

• Specifications sheet

What configuration setting is typically configured last, if it is required, when staging an autonomous AP for deployment?

• SSID

• IP settings

• Output power

• Admin password

What is the common switch port mode used for lightweight APs?

• Trunk

• MAC filtered

• Access

• PoE disabled

What network service is used to provide clock synchronization for all networking devices?

• NTP

• DNS

• DHCP

• None of these

What is required to configure cloud-based APs that is not required to configure autonomous or most controller-based APs?

• IP settings

• DNS

• Internet access

• DHCP

What may be used by lightweight APs to locate a WLAN controller?

• TFTP

• DNS

• NTP

• None of these

What kind of application may be used to quickly verify that the right security solution is in place for multiple APs?

• Throughput tester

• Client supplicant

• Wi-Fi scanner

• None of these

Why is a throughput testing application not necessarily indicative of real-world performance?

• Because they do not work on the same WLAN

• Because they cannot be used while other devices are connected to the WLAN

• Because they may not simulate network behaviors of real-world applications

• Because they only test the wired network throughput
